Trick or Treaters love candy, but my grandkids received homemade art cards as their Halloween goodies from Grandma this year. Here's Hannah's card, photographed before the final lamination process.
Each side began as cardboard covered with gesso and acrylic paints. Rubber stamp images, cut outs, lettering, inkjet photos, misting, rubbing -- lots of techniques were used to create two sides. Then I used Gorilla Glue to laminate the two sides together and make it into a thick, two sided card that could be carried around by the child. Presto! Art instead of candy. Sweet.
